I'm writing a long << 25K line >> script to verify data from a
database.
The following bit of script is giving me a NameError, and
I can't figure out why.
datafile = open ( the_data_file_is, "r" )
new_datafile = open ( the_temp_data_file_is, "w" )
line_kounter = 0
while line_kounter < 50000
line_kounter = line_kounter + 1
templine = datafile.readline(line_kounter)
validate_line = templine
if ( the_file_is == "john_www.db" ) :
temp_record_id = int(validate_line[2:18])
temp_country = strip(validate_line[20:50])
elif ( the_file_is == "jan_www.db " ):
temp_record_id = int(validate_line[2:10])
temp_country = strip(validate_line[12:20])
print temp_record_id
At that point I get a NameError message.
All I'm trying to do is have it print to screen
the record number it is working on.
I've double checked the white spaces, and they are
all lined up at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 etc.
What am I missing here? << And how do I correct it. >>
<< If it matters, there are actually six more
elif constructs each containing
containing thirty or so initializations. >>
<< The person who wrote the original database input functions
didn't believe in error trapping, with the result that it is
replete with errors -- and now that database is going onto
the web --- but has to be error free. >>
